Patent CA-2559694-C (CA)
Inventor: FALLAH-RAD MEHRAN
IPC: G01D5/12
Filed: 2006-09-12
Granted: 2015-11-10
Abstract: A system and a method for measuring properties and health of structures are disclosed. The system comprises a number of sensors connected to a single antenna. Each sensor has a body that defines an electromagnetic resonator. The electromagnetic resonator produces a response signal in response to an interrogation signal. The body is coupled to the structure to so as to allow the parameters of interest alter the resonance properties of the electromagnetic resonators thereby altering the response signal. The sensor further includes a coupler that is coupled to the body. The Coupler transfers the interrogation signal into the electromagnetic resonator and transfers the response signal from the electromagnetic resonator. The system further includes an interrogator that generates and transmits the interrogation signal to the sensor. The interrogator also receives the response signal.

Granted: 2013-08-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of drying biological and other labile samples so that they can be preserved as a highly viscous liquid. The method involves the steps of preparing a preservation sample by dissolving/suspending an active agent in a solution of a stabilising agent, subjecting the preservation sample to such temperature and pressure conditions that the preservation sample looses solvent by evaporation without freezing or bubbling to form a foam and removing solvent until the preservation sample dries to form a highly viscous liquid. The stabilising solution comprises a glass forming polyol and a second component which decreases the flow rate of the highly viscous liquid formed by the method.

Title: Methods and apparatus for measuring flow velocity in a wellbore using nmr and applications using same
Inventor: SPEIER PETER
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2002-09-09
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for determining flow velocity within a formation utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques in which the shape of the resonance region is restricted so that sensitivity to radial flow or vertical flow is obtained (or both when more than one NMR tool is used). Flow velocity using these NMR tools is determined using decay amplitude, frequency displacement or stimulated echoes (where the spins are stored along the magnetic field instead of the transverse plane to exploit echo decays and frequency displacements) based on the application of adiabatic pulses. Based on the described NMR measurement of flow velocity, additional wellbore parameters may be obtained such as a direct measurement of permeability, an assessment of drilling damage to the wellbore, formation pressure, invasion rate of the mud filtrate or the migration of fine mud particles during sampling operations.

Title: Energy absorber for aircraft
Inventor: HUMFELDT DIRK
IPC: F16F7/12
Filed: 2007-02-08
Granted: 2014-10-14
Abstract: These days, typically strong holders for attachment of inboard devices to the primary structure of an aircraft are used, which often only ineffectively manage dynamic loads.  According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an energy absorber is provided for aircraft, which includes one or more energy absorber elements and a housing, whereby the energy absorber elements can absorb crash impulses by plastic deformation within the housing. Thus, the load on the primary structure and the respective inboard devices is limited, which can lead to an increased, passive safety of the passengers and a weight reduction.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for identifying manoeuvres for a vehicle in conflict situations. A plurality of miss points are calculated for the vehicle and as well as object conditions at which the vehicle will miss an impact with the at least one other object by a range of miss distances. The miss points are displayed such that a plurality of miss points at which the vehicle would miss impact by a given miss distance indicative of a given degree of conflict is visually distinguishable from other miss points at which the vehicle would miss impact by greater miss distances indicative of a lesser degree of conflict. The resulting display indicates varying degrees of potential conflict to present, in a directional view display, a range of available manoeuvres for the vehicle in accordance with varying degrees of conflict.

Granted: 2013-11-19
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une presse à vis pourvue d'une vanne à segment et d'un arbre à vis longitudinal supporté. L'arbre à vis comprend un arbre central et des filets hélicoïdaux entraînés par une commande de cônes. L'arbre à vis est encapsulé dans un corps comprenant une trémie, une partie de transition, un palier et un tamis. La partie de transition comprend une vanne à segment formant un angle de sorte que l'axe de rotation de la vanne à segment soit sensiblement parallèle aux filets de l'arbre à vis. De plus, l'arbre à vis est supporté par un premier support au niveau de son extrémité proximale et par un second support vers son extrémité distale. Le support, au niveau de son extrémité distale, comprend un ou plusieurs paliers d'usure qui supportent de manière concentrique des filets de l'arbre à vis de façon à venir en contact par friction. En fonctionnement, des matériaux semi-solides sont introduits dans la presse à vis par l'orifice d'admission de la trémie. Le matériau est acheminé dans le corps par rotation de l'arbre à vis jusqu'à ce qu'il soit récupéré dans le tamis. Le matériau, une fois dans le tamis, est comprimé de façon à pousser le liquide dans les mailles du tamis. La vanne à segment évite au matériau de revenir en arrière. L'angle de la vanne à segment par rapport au logement de la presse à vis génère une plus grande pression dans le tamis. En outre, l'utilisation des paliers d'usure réduit l'usure sur le corps et le tamis, usure imputable au contact métal contre métal avec des filets de vis et assure également un meilleur rendement de la presse à vis.
